2024 marks WAGS 4 Kids’ 20th anniversary as your renowned service dog organization – bringing together mobility, autism, and mental health service dogs with their child in need as early in their lives as there is a need and an interest, up to age 18. We trained for the first three years out of our little house on East Center Street! Our goal? Filling the gap of early intervention services previously unheard of. Our partnership with the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation & Corrections (est. 2007) – took us to new heights. We have now grown to serve 35 counties throughout the state of Ohio, connected nearly 200 kids with these lifechanging animals, provided educational programming to over 10,000 students across 20 schools and community groups, and found love in over 5,000 volunteers through over 4 million community service hours!

The next 20 years of WAGS 4 Kids depends on people like you powering our work.

We rely on YOUR generous support to keep the fight going to provide essential early intervention services to kids living with a wide variety of neurodevelopmental & psychological conditions - a lifeline - to live more independent, joyful, accessible lives, creating memories to last a lifetime...and so much more.

Help us begin our next two decades in a position of strength with a donation to WAGS 4 Kids that’ll go 2x as far. We don’t take money from government or political parties. Thank you!

Please help us continue to branch out so that we can add more children and their photos to our W.A.G.S. 4 Kids family tree. And you will “let the magic begin” for next year and beyond.
